Enough cheese left to feed an army of mice for a year

Why did you buy so much cheese though?
I haven''t been anywhere near a supermarket since last Thursday but I'm now out of bread and low on milk so I'll have to pop out tomorrow. I still have a full freezer and cupboards so I should be OK for a big shop until mid-Jan. |

I miss the days of seeing the metal tins of Roses and Quailty Street. Are they plastic only now?

I always buy a mountain of cheese at this time of year as it's my main food weakness.

Turkey wise we have half a turkey left. The Mrs bought a 20lb turkey for 3 of us. The rest is back in the freezer for New Year's Day.
Treat wise our house is a joke this Christmas. We bought in loads of treats and then we received 2 hampers full of more treats. We have 2 x tins of roses, 1 x celebrations 2 x Milk tray 2 x giant Dairy milk 1kg bars I think. Not to mention boxes of match makers, after eights etc. Drink wise I have a 1 litre bottle of Grey Goose unopened, managed to polish of the last of the Coors light last night. |

Some scraps of cheese, a still unopened chocolate log, a tub of Celebrations and the turkey cacass is still in the fridge - I should probably dispose of that today before it starts to honk, my intention to make a stock from it is probably too late now.

Nothing. Didn't buy anything for home (just me) & was at mum's for Christmas. She foisted a Christmas cake and chocolate fudge yule log on me as I left on boxing day (despite me not wanting them as I will just devour them!) and they have both already gone.
Meals on 27th were Cake, Bacon sarnie, Yule Log, Cake & Cake, mainly because they were there and also because I'd forgotten to buy food in for myself before Christmas & fancied a sofa day without seeing the world at all on the 27th! |

Quarter of a massive Christmas cake, half tub Roses, half tub celebrations, a Terrys chocolate orange...think that might be it.

The last of the turkey is going in a pie later, but there will still be some gammon left. There is still some stilton and some reblochon in the fridge. We still have most of a bottle of Baileys and a bottle of Prosecco, and I don't count the beer, gin and wine as left over as we always have that in the house anyway.
What we do have shedloads of is sweet stuff: Christmas cake, chocolate cake, stollen, unopened boxes of Milk Tray, Matchmakers, After Eights and Thorntons chocs, most of a box of Black Magic and most of a tub of Quality Street. |

We have an obscene amount of chocolate and sweets left. My mum puts together a hamper for us every year and without fail we are still eating Christmas chocolates well into February. I'll be giving it all away next week as I have a wedding dress to fit into by April!!

Cheese is my weakness too, I love a Brie or Camembert at Xmas and I don't have it at any other time. I bought a big Brie and have finally finished it
![]() Unopened, Turkish delight (yuk) liqueurs (double yuk) jar of pear drops, pineapple chunks, cola cubes and strawberry sherbets, 3 boxes of chocs, every nasty dark chocolate left over from the rest, a big box of luscious Lions midget gems and a few bottles of booze. Mince pies, Xmas cake and pud, all homemade (not by me anymore), goose, which seems to be growing more meat on a daily basis. And now, self inflicted gastritis.........cheers

I went to visit family over Christmas and there wasn't much in the way of leftovers to bring back home so I'll have to go out again
and get some more so I can pretend I have an excuse for stuffing my face with crisps biscuits mince pies chocolates fancy mince pies fancy chocolates chocolate mince pies chocolate and pies and chocolate biscuits and biscuits and and and breathe...And I know some people have a real thing about the co-op but by local one had a surplus of the fancy-baked deli items yesterday so I'm glad I took two bags with me

All the leftovers are now finished. Still have a few carrots and savoy cabbage left, which may find their way into the bin later. Sick of the taste of them now.
Still have stacks of chocolates and crisps. Not my kind of thing, so they will be eaten by others. |

I have some stilton left and a little turkey (sweet and sour tonight). But everything else left is sweet stuff. A tin of posh biscuits, two Milk Tray, chocolate brazils and that's about it. We have plenty of booze left .... but that suits me fine. I have made a valiant effort with the gin.

Nothing. We had Christmas at my husband's family home, so there's nothing in our flat. I had to do an emergency shop yesterday when we got back to get us through a couple of days before I could get delivery for a bigger shop.
There's never any shortage of chocolate in the flat though, but they are nothing to do with Christmas. |

It's not really leftovers.. most Christmas treat type stuff have long dates on them, chocolate e.t.c eat it at your leisure.

all the strawberry creams from a box of Roses, I don't know whether to eat the vile things or put them on ebay
![]() Put them on eBay and I'll bid! How can you not like the strawberry creams?! Their the nicest ones of the lot now they no longer make the coffee creams like they used to . Quote:
At one time every garage, shed, kitchen, cubby hole under the stairs had a few metal Roses tins with 'bits' in them. ..........screws, nails, unidentified bits of metal that might come in handy one day .........
![]() . As for what's left, boxes of biscuits, a huge Christmas cake that will last until March at least, a pineapple cake, crisps, crackers, various jars of pickle and chocolate. Sadly there is nearly no cheese, as not eating meat I rely heavily on it for sandwiches, but on the plus side, there is a lot of chocolate as on top of what was bought, I was given a fair bit myself as presents which will keep me going until almost next Christmas, especially as I still have some of last year's left as well .
